Pedal to floor carpet minimum dis-
tance “a”: 68 mm (2.7 in.)
With the engine running, measure the dis-
tance between the brake pedal and floor
carpet when the pedal is depressed with
approximately 30 kg (66 lbs) of force. The
minimum distance required is as specified.
Since your vehicle’s brake system is self-
adjusting, there is no need for pedal
adjustment.
If the pedal to floor carpet distance as
measured above is less than the minimum
distance required, have your vehicle
inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer.
NOTE:
When measuring the distance between the
brake pedal and floor carpet, be sure not to
include the floor mat or rubber on the floor
carpet in your measurement.

Lever pull force (1):
200 N (20 kg, 44 lbs)
Check the parking brake for proper adjust-
ment by counting the number of clicks
made by the ratchet teeth as you slowly
pull up on the parking brake lever to thepoint of full engagement. The parking
brake lever should stop between the speci-
fied ratchet teeth and the rear wheels
should be securely locked. If the parking
brake is not properly adjusted or the
brakes drag after the lever has been fully
released, have the parking brake inspected
and/or adjusted by your MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer.
Steering
68LM708
Steering wheel play “c”:
0 – 30 mm (0.0 – 1.2 in.)
Check the play of the steering wheel by
gently turning it from left to right and mea-
suring the distance that it moves before
you feel slight resistance. The play should
be between the specified values.
WA R N I N G
If you experience any of the following
problems with your vehicle’s brake

Tire Rotation
60G-09-019E
To avoid uneven wear of your tires and to
prolong their life, rotate the tires as illus-
trated. Tires should be rotated as men-
tioned in periodic maintenance schedule.
After rotation, adjust front and rear tire
pressures to the specification listed on
your vehicle’s Tire Inflation Pressure Label.
Wheel Balancing
If the vehicle vibrates abnormally on
smooth road, have the wheel balanced at
Maruti Suzuki Authorized Workshop.
Wheel Alignment
In case of abnormal tire wear or pulling
towards one side, have the wheel aligned
at Maruti Suzuki Authorized Workshop.Tubeless Tires (If equipped)
The vehicle is equipped with Tubeless
Tires. In tubeless tire, a thin layer of butyl
rubber is used for lining the inside of the
tubeless tire. This layer is to prevent air
loss and fulfilling the purpose of tube. The
air pressure is maintained by the sealing
between tire bead and wheel rim. Tubelesstires are having advantage of slow air loss
and preventing sudden deflation while driv-
ing.
Care and maintenance tips for tubeless
tires
1) Always maintain recommended inflation
pressure. Driving continuously at low
inflation pressure can lead to tire dam-
age.
2) In case any leakage is found, check for
any nail penetration/valve core dam-
age or rim bent. Damaged wheel must
not be used.
3) In case tire has run at low pressure, it
must be inspected for any defect.
4) Whenever new tire is fitted, replace the
valve.
5) If continuous high speed driving is
required, increase tires pressure by 5
psi over recommended inflation pres-
sure.
6) Never run the tire beyond TWI (Tread
wear indicator). The tire is recom-
mended to be replaced when the
remaining tread has worn to this point.
The indicators are spaced across the
tread around the tire marked by a trian-
gular symbol (TWI).
7) Always prefer tubeless tire mounting
machine. In case of manual mounting-
tire/wheel rim damage may occur.
8) In case of any problem, please get in
touch with MARUTI SUZUKI Authorized
workshop.
WA R N I N G
Your MARUTI SUZUKI is equipped
with tires which are all the same
type and size. This is important to
ensure proper steering and han-
dling of the vehicle. Never mix tires
of different size or type on the four
wheels of your vehicle. The size
and type of tires used should be
only those approved by MARUTI
SUZUKI as standard or optional
equipment for your vehicle.
Replacing the wheels and tires
equipped on your vehicle with cer-
tain combinations of after-market
wheels and tires can significantly
change the steering and handling
characteristics of your vehicle.
Therefore, use only those wheel
and tire combinations approved by
MARUTI SUZUKI as standard or
optional equipment for your vehi-
cle.
NOTICE
Replacing the original tires with tires
of a different size may result in false
speedometer or odometer readings.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
74LH0-74E
Temporary Spare Tire (if equipped)Your vehicle comes equipped with the tem-
porary spare tire. It is only intended for
temporary emergency use, until the con-
ventional tire can be repaired or replaced.
The inflation pressure of the temporary
spare tire should be checked at least
monthly. At the same time, check that the
tire is stored securely. If it is not, tighten it.
Note that two or more temporary spare
tires should not be used on one vehicle
simultaneously.
BatteryPetrol

WA R N I N G
The temporary spare tire and wheel
are intended for temporary emergency
use only. Continuous use of this spare
can result in tire failure and loss of
control. Always observe these precau-
tions when using this spare: Your vehicle will handle differently
with this temporary spare.
Do not exceed 80 km/h speed (only
vehicle with 185/65R15 tire).
Replace this spare with a standard
tire and wheel as soon as possible.
Use of this spare will reduce
ground clearance.
Set the specified tire pressure indi-
cated on the tire information label
located on the driver’s door lock
pillar.
Do not use tire chains on the tem-
porary spare. If you must use tire
chains, rearrange the wheels so
standard tires and wheels are fitted
to the front axle.
The temporary spare tire has a
much shorter tread life than the
conventional tires on your vehicle.
Replace the tire as soon as the
tread wear indicator appears.
When replacing the temporary
spare tire, use a replacement tire
with the exact same size and con-
struction.
